About Mandaluyong

Mandaluyong, officially the City of Mandaluyong, is a highly urbanized city in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 465,902 people.

Located directly east of Manila, Mandaluyong was originally the barrio of San Felipe Neri in Santa Ana de Sapa (now part of Manila). It became a separate municipality in 1841, was renamed Mandaluyong in 1931 during the American period, and was granted city status in 1994, becoming the first municipality in Metro Manila to be converted into a city since the region's establishment in 1975.

Mandaluyong is home to part of Ortigas Center, one of Metro Manila's principal central business districts, which it shares with Pasig. It is also the site of the headquarters of the Asian Development Bank, Banco de Oro, and San Miguel Corporation. The city is bordered by Manila, San Juan, Quezon City, Pasig, Taguig, and Makati, and is the fourth-smallest city in the Philippines by land area, covering 11.26 km2 (4.35 sq mi).
